11 Handbombs are thrown alchemy items in Fatekeeper. They are produced through the same three-ingredient system as potions and weapon vials, but their delivery is a thrown projectile rather than a swallowed liquid or a weapon coating. Handbombs are the Druid's primary tool for opening encounters with damage, breaking up grouped enemies, and applying area status effects.
